Twitter Reacts To Steam Security Debacle

Today, some Steam users' account information was compromised due to a technical error on the company's end. Twitter naturally had some hot takes on the subject.

We managed to reach Valve for comment and they have given us an official statement on what happened today https://t.co/5B8kpj3QbB

For a moment I thought Steam wasnt going to give us a special event this year! Nice to see them deliver again.

I can't believe people are making jokes about this Steam thing instead of sitting in quiet contemplation in their problem corners.

I'm not worried about having my credit card stolen. I'm worried about a random Steam user knowing how many Japanese visual novels I own.
